6 Random Things - 11/27/08

Dangerblond tagged me. I've watched this meme burn like wildfire through the NOLA blogosphere thinking I'd escaped via the sympathy element, but the Dangerous One is heartless, or at least trying to tag me out of my exhausted self-pity. Here are The Rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post The Rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

[Mercy, y'all. Is it just me or is this meme a lot of work!? Number 5, in particular, seems mucho time consuming, but I digress...]

Six Random Things About Me:

1. I sleep with a pillow between my knees and one foot outside of the covers.
2. If I could do anything in the world I wanted, it would be to explore mom and pop motels while they still exist and write about them.
3. I can't make up my mind between the mountains and the beach. When I'm in the mountains, I love the mountains the most. When I'm at the beach, I wonder what I was thinking when I thought it was the mountains. Whichever it is, it is not the city, where I am most of the time.
4. My undergraduate degree is in English. Simultaneously, I accidentally got a BA in History with Honors. I don't remember much of that.
5. I was born the third of four girls. When I was eleven years old, my mother married a man with three sons. I have three sons. This might be three random things, but, who's counting?
6. I like long trips in the car so much that every time I get on an interstate highway, I feel a very strong urge to just keep on driving.

I'm tagging Zen Wizard, Paula, John Sherck, D Cup, Virgotex and Schroeder. Some of you may have already 1) done this meme or 2) been tagged and are trying to ignore it. Realizing you don't need my permission to do so, I am granting it. Please feel free to ignore the tag.

Peace, y'all. Life goes on.
